GENERAL NOTES.

ground, and muriate OF potash, makes a
complete manure. That is, the mixture

have developed prosperous and growing
| business.
There is no better way 10 prepare hen

over, and pulverize all remaining Jumps. If
the temperature is like to rise too high,
work over and add water or more muck
Let it remain in pile till wanted for use. 1t
